The Rt 299 West Bridge going over the flats is CLOSED until further notice. This is due to the ice that has formed and water flooding the roadways.

Please, do not walk onto the ice. The ice is not completely formed and the water underneath is moving fast. The ice WILL break and you can fall underneath. This goes the same for pets, please don't let your furry friends venture onto the ice.

In the event of an ICE emergency, please call 911 immediately. Do NOT attempt to rescue by yourself!

New Paltz Fire DepartmentWe are receiving several reports of people moving the barricades and driving over the bridge. THE ROADS ARE FLOODED AND ICED OVER. This is very dangerous and not to mention Illegal, Police department will be ticketing.

I love it when people who don't know the history of how bad flooding can be in this area think they know better.
